I broke 10000 words! Whoooo I've only done that like twice before! I'm still about a day and a half behind, but I should be able to catch up tomorrow.

Godsotired. Stupid election coverage distracted me so I had to stay up late to finish this. WOE IS ME.

Also my story already passes the Bechdel test. UH, GO ME?

Also guys I'm starting to ship my characters in unexpected configurations. *sob*

Right. So. November's coming up. I think you all know what that means: NaNoWriMo out the ass.

But, being the rebel I am, I'm not going to do it like normal people! I am, instead, going to follow my heart to Sniper Island and write the script for a comic book/graphic novel/whatever instead. Same principle, just with a script instead of prose.

(before anyone says anything, yes, I know there's a sister event to NaNo, for scripting. But that's for screenplay writing, which is a whole other animal)

Now, the natural hitch in this is word count. Examining scripts I've written in the past reveals that at the words-per-page rate I've previously written at, a 50000 word script would be...292 pages, give or take. I. I'm a bit skeptical about it actually going on that long, but who knows.

I am currently doing planning and research. What I've got thus far, I'm putting in this post.

Note that I don't actually have names for any of these characters/concepts. Have I ever mentioned how much I suck at coming up with names? Well, I do. A lot. So I'll come up with them eventually, but not now.
